Chapter 88 Beloved Passenger

This was Su Pu's first time going abroad, and also his first time taking an international flight, especially in first class.

After boarding, the flight attendant asked him and Li Jichuan about their meal preferences, and then put a heart-shaped sticker next to his headrest.

Su Pu stared at the sticker, looking slightly puzzled.

Li Jichuan leaned close to his ear and explained, "This is the 'Beloved Passenger' badge chosen by the flight attendants. People who have this sticker will receive special care from the entire crew."

Upon hearing this, Su Pu's eyes lit up:

Is there really such a good thing?!

Her face flushed red instantly, and the little mute girl seemed quite embarrassed.

How did he get selected as a "favorite passenger" right after boarding? Is it because he's really cute, or because he sincerely expressed his gratitude to all the ground staff he encountered throughout the journey, and was very cooperative during the security check...?

They picked out the items that needed to be inspected separately early on, and after the security check was completed, they even took the initiative to help pack up the storage baskets and return them to the staff.

Just as they were pondering this, the flight attendant returned with their drinks.

Li Jichuan ordered a glass of red wine, while Su Pu drank soda water.

The flight attendant gave Su Pu two bags of snacks, but not Li Jichuan; only he received them.

Su Pu unconsciously raised her chin, looking at Li Jichuan with a hint of schadenfreude and a touch of provocation in her eyes.

But in the end, this person was her husband, and she felt embarrassed to eat it all by herself, so she generously shared a packet with her husband and waved her hand.

It means there's no need to thank me.

Li Jichuan tried his best to suppress his laughter, gratefully accepted the snack, tore open the packaging, and fed one to the little mute boy.

Eat more, you silly goose.

His desk was covered with a computer and a phone, so there was nowhere to put snacks. The flight attendant had no choice but to put them on Su Pu's small table. Who knew it could be interpreted this way?

The power of belief is immense.

After takeoff, Li Jichuan was busy with his work, while Su Pu enjoyed round after round of meals served by the flight attendants, devouring them all with an excellent appetite.

After all, these are things that "loving passengers" should do!

Seeing the flight attendant feeding Su Pu like a pig until he was burping, Li Jichuan finally felt a little guilty and called a halt to the operation.

"I'm sorry, but his stomach is quite sensitive. If he eats too much, he won't be able to sleep well at night."

Li Jichuan said to the flight attendant who brought over the ribeye steak.

The flight attendant nodded politely, "Okay, Mr. Li."

Then she looked at Su Pu and said, "Mr. Su, if you need anything else, please feel free to ring the bell."

Su Pu smiled obediently at her.

After the flight attendant left, Su Pu finally relaxed and began to feel dizzy, her eyelids drooping constantly.

Li Jichuan helped him adjust the seat so that he could lie completely flat and told him to sleep peacefully.

Feeling guilty that her husband was working while she was sleeping, Su Pu got up and took out a few low-sugar, low-calorie snacks from her small bag, handing them to Li Jichuan.

Li Jichuan looked at the packaging. "Did you buy all of these?"

Su Pu nodded. It was his first time going abroad, and he didn't have much experience.

He originally went to buy things for himself, worried that he would not be able to adapt to the local environment, but as he wandered around, his shopping cart was full of things that he thought Li Jichuan would like.

The little mute girl had no choice; she just really, really liked this person and hoped he would be well.

Li Jichuan accepted the snacks, pulled Su Pu back to lie down, worked with one hand on his desk, and placed the other hand on Su Pu's stomach, patting it gently.

With such gentle coaxing, Su Pu quickly fell asleep and slept all the way to Heathrow, only to be woken up by the disembarkation announcement.

Li Jichuan had already efficiently packed up all his equipment and came over to observe him.

If he doesn't wake up, I wouldn't mind carrying him off the plane.

Su Pu groggily got up, her stomach still a little bulging. She straightened her clothes and carefully checked if the heart-shaped sticker was still there.

It's still there!

Su Pu was relieved. She folded the small blanket neatly, straightened the chair, and tidied up the surroundings.

Li Jichuan held back his laughter and waited for him.

Finally relieved, Su Pu stood up as she disembarked and noticed a heart-shaped sticker next to the headrest of Li Jichuan's seat.

Looking further ahead, there was a heart-shaped sticker next to the seat of a passenger with a bandage on his arm, located two rows ahead.

Su Pu reacted for two seconds, then became happy again.

Turns out he wasn't the only "beloved passenger"; he happily disembarked from the plane.

Li Jichuan followed behind him, liking him more each day than the day before.

...

Upon arriving at her hotel room, Su Pu immediately changed into a light spring outfit, as the temperature in London was a bit lower than in Yuncheng.

A sweatshirt paired with light blue jeans creates a loose and comfortable look, making her appear as youthful as a freshman college student.

"Hey, Xiao Pu, heading out?"

Li Jichuan didn't show it on his face, but he was actually extremely anxious inside.

Su Pu's outfit was clearly no different from his usual attire, but in a different setting, he would notice it.

British dating etiquette is more open, and I'm sure there will be plenty of people trying to chat up Sue!

The little mute boy was completely unaware of what was happening. He smiled and nodded at him, then took out a long list from his backpack, which contained all the coffee shops he wanted to visit.

He and Pei Zhicheng finally finished selecting a location for their coffee shop. Now, Pei is busy with the interior design, while Su Pu plans to use this time to hone his skills.

Fortunately, Li Jichuan had already made preparations.

Ding-dong—

Someone rang the doorbell.

Su Pu went to open the door, and there was a fragrant and pretty woman outside who greeted him warmly.

"Hi, you must be Lee's wife?"

Su Pu nodded blankly.

"Mei, come in quickly!" Li Jichuan called from inside the room.

sister?

Su Pu immediately became alarmed and, pouting, led her into the suite's living room.

Li Jichuan felt a surge of satisfaction upon seeing Su Pu's displeased expression.

But it still needs to be made clear that their Xiao Pu tends to overthink things.

“This is Mei, Mei, her English name. She was forced to call us this because she thought the English name her grandfather gave her was too childish.”

Mei crossed her arms, somewhat speechless, "Does it really need to go into such detail..."

Then she looked at Su Pu, "My English name is Melody, which is the same as a cartoon bunny, so I've always received pink and cute gifts since I was little, which I personally don't really like..."

Melody... Melody?

Then look at Mei, dressed head to toe in black, with a bold and unrestrained makeup look. No wonder Melody seems unable to handle her...

But she really is beautiful!

Li Jichuan looked at Su Pu and continued to explain, "We were college classmates. Mei stayed here to pursue her doctorate and got married last year."

Su Pu nodded, finally relieved.

Mei looked at Li Jichuan with a mocking expression, thinking to herself, "You've finally met your match."

The man pretended not to see it and continued to instruct Su Pu, "Mei will take you to check out some cafes these next few days. She and her wife live in London and know a lot of good cafes that only locals know about."

Mei nodded and put her arm around Su Pu's shoulder. "Stop listening to his nagging. It'll get dark soon. Let's go play."

Just as Su Pu was about to nod, she was pulled away, leaving Li Jichuan with a surprised look.

Li Jichuan's voice followed them out the door; it was his subconscious instruction.

“Mei, be nice to him, don't push him for anything.”

Mei curled her lips and gave him the middle finger, saying, "Shut up, bro."

...

Mei is much gentler in private. After looking at Su Pu's check-in list, she marked them all on the map app and immediately planned the route.

Mei's car is a tall, large SUV, I explained to him.

“My wife is Icelandic, and this car goes to Iceland with us every year. Even though we go every year, it still feels incredible.”

Su Pu listened to her describe the unfamiliar country and scenery with great envy.

After spending an afternoon together, Mei opened up completely and took the initiative to confess to him.

Aside from being classmates, he and Li Jichuan met through a blind date arranged by their families.

"Lee was brought here by two men that day. They forced him into a chair and made him eat with me. I thought to myself, this guy is too stubborn. He'd rather die than submit?"

"Fortunately, we were honest about our sexual orientations when we first met, and he was finally willing to talk to me. Lee always seemed helpless when he talked about his family."

Li Peirong's management was airtight, so Li Jichuan was more worried about the two of them breaking up because of his family than about arguing and breaking up.

Love should be a matter between two people; that would be too unfair to the other person. Therefore, Li Jichuan would rather not start than delay the other person's time.

"Then one day, Lee suddenly called me and told me that he was going to marry the person he loved. I was very surprised!"

Mei shrugged, somewhat regretfully, "But then the old man passed away, which delayed your wedding."

Su Pu listened quietly, and then typed.

Before he passed away, Grandpa apologized to Mr. Li, acknowledging his mistakes.

Mei glanced at them and exclaimed in surprise, "Really? I thought the grandfather and grandson were going to be at odds for the rest of their lives!"

Su Pu smiled. "Grandpa passed away peacefully."

Mei continued driving when she suddenly noticed something unusual.

Su Pu's condition doesn't seem to match Li Jichuan's description...

After a pause, she tentatively asked, "Xiao Pu, what about you? How's your relationship with your family? I heard your mother passed away..."

The typing continued, Su Pu was typing again.

My mother has passed away, but my father and half-brother are still alive.

Mei slowed down the car, her heart racing.

"So, how are you getting along with them now?"

Su Pu lowered his eyes, and after a while, he held up his phone and told her.

Now, I've decided to forget them.
